If your child has not yet been screened, call Jenna Reynolds at 952-928-6774 to schedule an appointment.

+Up to date immunizations
You will be asked to provide a record of your child’s shots at Kindergarten Information Night. All children entering kindergarten must have a varicella (chickenpox) vaccine (or a history of having chickenpox) and a second dose of vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. Free health checkups and immunizations are available at Central Clinic located in our Central Community Center. The Clinic is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 1-4:30 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome. You can also make an appointment by calling 952/993-1100. If your child should not have immunizations for medical reasons or because of the conscientiously held beliefs of the parents, the school must have written proof of exemption.

YOU CAN ENROLL YOUR CHILD IN ONE OF OUR EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM CLASSES ANY TIME DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.
Tuition assistance funds may be available for those families who qualify. For an application, please call 952-928-6785.

An early look at your child’s health and development, early childhood screening allows any health and developmental concerns to be addressed at least one year before a child enters kindergarten. This free service is required by the state of Minnesota for entrance into Kindergarten. PLEASE DO IT EARLY! The ideal age is between 3 1/2 and 4 years of age. Screening includes height, weight, vision test, hearing test and developmental games. We are screening children on Thursdays and some Fridays at the Central Clinic.
